Hi Tracy,

Helped a lot. The checkbox was bound before and not now, hence the value change....

Thanks!

>Hi Jim,
>The value of the checkbox itself will be 0 (not checked) or 1 (checked). When its control source is a logical field in the table, the checkbox will still hold a value of 0 or 1, but when the data is saved to the table, it will be converted to 0->false and 1->true.

>>I don’t use checkboxes often but I have a need to for an entry form. A person is going to visit a house and determine if there is a dog there. If no one is home there are a set of check-offs to go through. Depending on what gets checked other checkboxes become enabled.
